The life of the fitness Instructor....

The life of the fitness Instructor....

Ok but first....Check out the red eyes....aren't we so glad pictures don't do that anymore!?!? 🤣🙈 2009 ....we've come a long way....

Anyway, I wanted to give a #throwbackthursday post & share some takeaways I learned (and am still learning) today....

#1 Just start. Waiting for the perfect time for ANYTHING is ONLY a waste of time. The quicker you go, the quicker you get better!

#2 Stop the comparison game. RIGHT NOW. You only have to be the best YOU...and that is ALWAYS ENOUGH. I CAN tell ya right now there's someone wishing they had YOUR life. When you come from gratitude you accept and love who you are NOW...& not just love who you are when you achieve goals... then you know fulfillment and true happiness.

#3 It's OK to say NO. Fitness instructors, I soooo feel ya on this.

Sure it feels good to be needed. It feels good to do good for others....but at what expense? Your own health? Time with family? Maybe not a good enough paycheck to even break even from all the hard work you do?!?!??!

Reading that one kinda hurt....Am I right?!? I still remember making the decision to cut back on classes because of my own health. And it hurt. I still remember deciding to close my studio. And it hurt. Because I thought I was letting others down.

BUT...the other side is YOU at peace with the decisions you have made.....because deep down you KNEW it was the right thing to do FOR YOU. And you know the RIGHT people that DO LOVE YOU will support you in that. We aren't here to please the haters. They gonna dis you no matter what you do. Let it go babe....🙌LET🙌IT🙌GO

Also, saying NO opens up SO MANY MORE YESSES That can still bring you joy and helps you put YOUR health (mental, physical, emotional & financial).... back in control.

I'm still learning and I'm still growing and it's been so amazing to see this journey NOW shared among other fitness professionals.

WE are taking back control.

WE are learning to give our BEST and also honoring the REST that we need.

Keep your head up fellow Fitness Instructor & Coach. Work as needed. Rest as needed. You can do this. #wegotthis #zinlife #coachlife #teamsweatcoaches
